Now, I had a lot of inspiration for this week's WWWAT. But you know, there are two budding photographers in this house that are just shakin' in their flips to be discovered. Today is their day. Hand your little photographers an old camera, if you have one- we do- and you'll be amazed at the insights you'll have into their world.

A Different View: Photography by Grace and Patience

They really love to try out poses for photos, just like mom. Here, Patience has captured Grace's thoughtful side... I think Patie took this- look how little she is! How big the world must look! Grace took this one... They LOVE using our old digital camera, so they can see the picture before they take it. This is me. Of course. I should try to get on their level more than I do when I'm talking. I must look so big to them!Grace's watch.Honestly, they got like, 10 pictures of my butt. Here's just one. That's enough. Fake flower from their toys, taken off it's stem, and photographed, upside down... I always have them use the flash, so the pictures don't get as blurry...Then they ventured outside. Here's our empty birdfeeder. Daddy and the H. I'm just amazed at their perspectives in their pictures. I really, really want to try to get on their level more! Most of the time, they're getting lectured by a pair of knees! Head to American Mum's site and check out all the other participants- and vote for your favorite! And if you want, take part too!

The butt picture (and the fact that they took 10!) was just too much. Sent me into gales of laughter. Okay, not gales, but it was SO funny!

I try to make a concerted effort to get down on my kids level, but I don't always remember. This was an excellent way to drive the point home... We are HUGE to them. And perhaps a bit scary when mad :)

Very cute pictures :) It is easy to forget what the world looked like when we were small, so thanks for the reminder! Oh, and I agree with Rachel, at least 50 bonus points for posting the butt picture!!! :)

My kids all have their own digi cams- the littles have those my first digital cameras- very resistant- and I love to see what they take pictures of. You make a good point at what they see- we are so above their level. A nice reminder to "take it down a notch" so to speak. :)
